Waterford Tinnashrule Edition 2.1 Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Waterford · Waterford Distillery
Waterford's terroir-driven approach finds full expression in Tinnashrule 2.1. The second edition from this single farm origin reveals how soil, climate, and barley variety converge in the glass. It's cerebral whiskey — the kind that invites comparison and rewards curiosity.
Nose
Opens with cut green grass and fresh barley, transitioning to baked pear and a delicate honeyed sweetness. An earthy undertone — almost like damp clay — grounds the brighter aromatics.
Palate
The palate is textured and complex. Creamy malt and vanilla lay the foundation, while dried apricot and a subtle almond nuttiness weave through. A mild clove spice surfaces midpalate, adding structure without heat.
Finish
Long and evolving, with earthy minerality and lingering orchard fruit tapering into a clean, malty close.

Food Pairing
A wedge of aged Coolea — a Gouda-style Irish farmhouse cheese — served with raw honeycomb and toasted walnuts, matching the whiskey's nutty, earthy, honeyed character.
Waterford Distillery, built inside a former Guinness brewery on Ireland's southeastern coast, sources barley from individual farms to isolate the influence of terroir — Tinnashrule is one such farm in County Wexford.

Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon Cask Strength
Keeper's Heart
Keeper's Heart Cask Strength is a fascinating study in how air and atmosphere shape whiskey — Irish pot still softness meets American bourbon boldness at full power, and the marriage breathes new character into both traditions. The higher proof rewards a splash of water, which opens up delicate floral and fruity notes hidden beneath the oak. A compelling conversation-starter that earns its place alongside more established names.
